Oxford Festival of the Arts

Festival Cèilidh with Moonaroon

Tickets £10

Founded in Oxford in the legendary Half Moon pub, The Moonaroon Cèilidh Band have been performing together since 2019. They combine a traditional Irish sound inspired by Fleadh-winning bands of recent years with callers from the comedy and theatre worlds to give audiences a thrilling night of dancing that feels rooted in tradition, with fabulous fiddles, irresistible rhythms, and calls that will get any dancer spinning and cheering on the dancefloor!

Josh Newman, fiddle, vocals | Mitch Keely, fiddle, guitar, banjo, bouzouki
Dom McGann, vocals, bodhrán, percussion, harmonium | Jack Evans, guitar, vocals, whistle

The caller will teach each dance before starting it so there’s no prior knowledge required.
